After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

His Majesty asked angrily: "Prince, do you have anything to explain?!"

The prince hesitated and dared not speak.

Suddenly, a phoenix figure strode into the hall like a gust of wind, and under the horrified gaze of the crowd, it slapped the prince so hard that his head almost fell off.

Instantly, all the officials in the court knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live the Queen!"

His Majesty quietly moved his dragon hips aside to make room for the Queen.

According to Lord Lu, the Jingzhao Yin who was present in the palace at the time, the atmosphere in the palace remained frozen for at least half a quarter of an hour.

It was not until the Queen Mother sat down and asked everyone to stand up without formalities that fresh air flowed into the hall and all the officials felt like they were alive again.

At this point, Liu Ji noticed that the breathing around him had stopped. Looking up, he saw that the expressions of the audience were dull and stiff, and it was obvious that they had imagined themselves in the hall.

Liu Ji was secretly happy for three seconds before waving his hand and saying in a relaxed tone: "Don't put yourself in the situation, and don't be nervous. We are at home, not in the palace."

The four brothers and sisters of Dalang, who were almost suffocating, took a deep breath.

Yin Le urged excitedly: "Master, please continue. What happened next? What happened next? The Crown Prince was slapped by the Queen. What happened next? How is the Crown Prince? How is Prince Feng finished?"

Awang's expressionless face showed a rare hint of nervousness.

Qin Yao noticed Awang's micro-expression and understood.

In this family, no one cares more about the situation of Prince Feng and the Holy Queen than he does.

After signaling everyone to stay calm and eat more food, Liu Ji continued:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was confined for half a year, the Imperial Master was fined one year's salary, and His Majesty sent someone to investigate the matter of Prince Feng buying the official land and houses of his subordinates at a low price."

"No more?" Yin Le asked.

Liu Ji spread his hands, "No more."

Everyone at the dinner table looked at each other in bewilderment. After such a big commotion, in the end the prince was only confined to house arrest for half a year?
Why do I have the feeling of picking it up high and putting it down gently?

Seeing what everyone was thinking, Qin Yao explained, "The prince is the crown prince after all. Before the matter of Prince Feng is verified, your majesty's confinement of him for half a year is already a severe punishment."

The specific situation in the court must be different from what Liu Ji described, so just listen for fun.

"The reason why the prince was punished was not because he protected King Feng, but because he caused this incident to break out."

Qin Yao analyzed from another perspective: "As the crown prince, he can't even handle this kind of thing. I think the emperor and the queen must be very disappointed in the prince. Just the disappointment of these two people is a hundred times more terrible to the prince than being confined to his house."

Hearing this, Liu Ji looked up in surprise and said, "Then according to what you said, my lady, the prince is going to be in a very bad situation this time?"

Qin Yao nodded. It was not only miserable, but also very dangerous.

But the national teacher did not seem to be affected too much by this incident. He was only fined one year's salary, which was really a relief.

It is not known whether the Emperor intends to leave help for the Crown Prince or what. For the time being, it seems that it will not be easy to confirm the matter of Prince Feng.

"Do you know who will be sent to investigate King Feng?" Qin Yao asked Liu Ji.

Liu Ji shook his head. "I don't know who it is, but I heard that they are planning to send a relative of the royal family."

Awang suddenly snorted, "Let the clan members check on King Feng. It would be strange if they could find anything out about relatives with the same surname."

"Where's Wusheng?" I should pay attention to the person who needs attention the most, Awang thought to himself.

Liu Ji also asked about it, and his sworn brother said, "He's a good person. The Princess's guards are guarding him in the prison. He's been given a single cell and is well fed and well cared for."

The children did not understand the fighting going on above and they did not pay attention as they were too far away. When the adults were chatting they were also very sensible and just listened without expressing any opinions.

Hearing that Wusheng was fine, they all smiled with relief. "That's good, that's good." Yin Le patted his chest, it seemed that everyone's efforts were not in vain.

After dinner, it was already late.

After cleaning up the dishes, the family of eight washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Qin Yao woke up early for the first time ever, dressed up, and asked Awang to harness the carriage.

After the family had breakfast together, Yin Le stayed at home.

Liu Ji continued to take the three boys in his family to Fan's private school to pay tuition and officially enroll.

Qin Yao took Si Niang and Awang with her and went to the girls' school.

In fact, it’s only a few steps away, but the weather is so hot that it’s more comfortable to take a carriage.

In addition, in Kyoto, the custom is to "respect the clothes first and then the person", so it is easier to get things done in a carriage than on foot.

Si Niang was very quiet along the way. She carried a book box with her and read books to consolidate her lessons.

She was afraid that when the teacher tested her on her studies, she would not be able to enter the school because of her poor performance.

When my eldest brother and his friends came back yesterday, they said that the master and teacher of the Fan family had specially tested their academic performance and felt that their grades were quite good, so they agreed to accept them.

So it was definitely a good idea to prepare more, because she didn't want her mother to be embarrassed because she couldn't answer the gentleman's test.

Qin Yao looked at her daughter who was studying hard, and felt very proud in her heart, my daughter is such a good girl.

The distance was really short, and Awang drove slowly, and it only took a little over a quarter of an hour to arrive at the girls' school.

Classes had already begun at the academy, the gate was ajar, and it was quiet in front of the gate.

As soon as Qin Yao's family's carriage appeared, it attracted the attention of the gatekeeper of the girls' academy.

She thought it was a late student, so she walked out of the door to take a look, only to find out that it was not him.

But when the mother and daughter got off the carriage and looked at her hesitantly, they immediately realized that the visitor was probably here to ask about admission matters.

She walked over with an enthusiastic smile and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Yao nodded slightly and smiled, "My last name is Qin, and this is my daughter Liu Pingling. My family lives in Kuanzhengfang across the street. I heard there is a girls' academy here, so I brought her here to ask about the admission rules."

The gatekeeper was not surprised at all. After all, the only people who came to them were here to send their daughter to school.

She smiled knowingly, "My name is Caiwei, and I'm the gatekeeper of the Women's Garden. Please come in with me, and I'll take you to see the dean."

"The carriage is parked outside." Caiwei specifically instructed.

Qin Yao understood, and motioned for Awang to wait outside the door, and the mother and daughter followed her in.

"Mother." Si Niang couldn't help herself and called Qin Yao happily.

She had already started to like this place before she even entered.

The older sisters here are very nice, speak softly and love to laugh. As soon as they arrived, they were taken to see the dean without any embarrassment.

Qin Yao lowered her head and smiled at her daughter. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Caiwei, who was leading the way, looked about the same age as Yin Le, just over 20 years old. She was wearing a light white skirt with narrow sleeves. Her long hair was gathered into a long braid at the back of her head and tied with a hairband of the same color, looking neat and clean.

She has fair skin, a round face, and a friendly smile. No wonder children like her. (End of this chapter)
